    You must try these healthy protein packed baked donuts! You can really get creative on flavor. The picture above I make with chocolate protein powder. These baked donuts are great for a quick and easy breakfast or dessert. I would recommend eat them with a side of bacon and eggs. My kids love these and totally freaked out the day I made them! “You made DONUTS!?!?!” I just love seeing their excitement over these healthy baked donuts. These did not last very long in our house they are pretty much gone as soon as they are glazed. Comment below and tell me what you think of this recipe. I’d love…
